I'm not doing general announcements about it, but I've just updated to 0.53.3. It'll help anyone who had the Ginasta bug at the start, otherwise it's just more polishing.
Haha, I'm glad you enjoyed it. ^-^ It's definitely the world as he sees it. I like the idea of changing up the art style for scenes, but the only other one is Qum's bomb.
Is there something I'm supposed to do on day 2 of the Gathering? I keep getting a game over as soon as Simon starts the threesome with Iris and Riala. I did save edit some extra pron early in this save, so if it's a bug it may be caused by cheating. But if it's not a bug I'd really like to know how to proceed. There isn't even a message about what killed me so I have no idea where to look.
The problem is almost certainly that you're being shifted to a party that contains only dead characters (from the previous boss battle). I'm including something to make sure that everyone is healed up in the future, but for now, you can get through by making sure everyone is alive during those battles.
That worked. Apparently Nalili and Carina were still down from some previous battle. I don't use them too often so there's no telling how long they've been dead.
Version 0.54.0 is out for patrons! More info below or at the blog:
https://the-last-sovereign.blogspot.com/2020/10/tls-0540-released.html
TLS 0.54.0
- New segment finishing the Gathering
- 2 new scenes
- Equipment from dead orcs is now given back to you prior to the orc event.
- More healing for parties in between segments.
- New character bust art thanks to Lamsey.
- 4 new illustrated scenes: Aka x Tentacles, Carina + Qum, Iris Doggy, Balia Table
A sample of one of the new illustrated scenes:
This episode is the culmination of many things, including both long-running arcs and callbacks from many updates past:
Though this one is shorter and more intense, there will still be some more events and competitions:
Which require very serious reactions:
I've pushed pretty hard to get to this point and I can't promise that the finished/polished version will be ready to go public in a week. Regardless, please look forward to it!

They're different versions of RPGMaker. Mouse controls and rebinding keys are a default option for Renryuu Ascension's version of RPGM.
Why do you want to only play with a mouse? The key controls are not that bad, in fact I default to them even when I could use the mouse.
I do sometimes use the gamepad though, so if you have one and really dislike keyboard controls you could use that.
Also, this probably among the best written games I've ever played. So you would be missing out if you choose to not play it because the engine doesn't run with a mouse.
You can remap the keys in RPGMaker VX Ace games, just not from an in-game interface. Just press F1 and go to the "Keyboard" tab. You can't play with a mouse, unless the game uses a mouse control script, but you can play with a gamepad.
They changed the language for scripts and events. I think it was MV which changed it and that is also the first one which supports mouse.
Possible that there are plugins for it earlier, but even in Mv the mouse controls can be finicky or even buggy.
Aside from that, you can not really port it, even if the language is the same, at best you can copy your events. You would to redo everymap, every event placement and so on. A massive amount of work. On top of that, I do not know if you can actually use custom sprites from older versions, or if the graphical details changed as well. That would require even more work.
In most RPGMaker games, being quick does not really matter, but many actually want precision from you. In that case, you should move with the keyboards since the pathfinding of RPGMaker is ..weird.
Bottom line, porting it is a massive endevour with next to no pay-off aside from wonky mouse controls few people actually use. Sorry.. =/
Your insistence makes me actually wonder:
Is it more natural to use the keyboard for me, because I play RPGMaker games for so long?
Or is it more personal preference?
I mean, it is entirely possible that the mouse in MV is actually decent and it only feels off to me because of what I'm used too. ^_^
I kinda pronounce it semi-french. Or rather what I think french would sound.. =P
But yeah, it is very close to Cumdump, so just mispronounce Cumdump and you have a working pronounciation.
But you can ask the author, she is usually a very approachable and friendly creator. She keeps herself busy all the times, so not sure how long you have to wait for an answer though.
There are a ton of hidden variables and more party splits to come. I suggest you just do a "you" playthrough first to enjoy the game and then if you want to go back and replay the game following the walkthrough.
Guuuuuh
I'm invested now so i'm going to stick with it but i'm rather bummed the game took such a turn after i was enjoying it so much despite my initial problems with the controls.
I second the recommendation for a walkthrough-less first playthrough. Simon is a man doing the best he can with the information he has. Think about what your values are, and make your decisions accordingly.
This is a game about uncertainty, hard choices, and unintended consequences. Sometimes, there are no right answers, even when you do have all of the information. And even if a choice doesn't get you exactly what you want, you'll usually still gain some benefit.
Funny, I have exactly the same problem. Especially since I have so many games to play already (probably more than I could play in my entire lifetime) that playing a game through multiple times just isn't an option, so I have to get the best experience possible from a single playthrough.Guuuuuh

A bit late, but there is only one way to get the best outcome: cheating.
Thanks to your limited amount of investment money, there will be failures.
The point is less that you manage to avoid them, but more to make the choices *you* think are the best.
There are a couple of situations where you are actually free to vote for or against something. Nearly all of them have benefits and drawbacks, leaving no real best choice.
So playing blind is not really that much of a drawback, you just lack the ability to prepare for certain situation less good.
You do need a walkthrough for some more ..strange playthrough, since you need to do specific actions to reach specific failures, but your goal should not be to create interesting worlds, but to try to steer Simon on his path. ^^
So, do not worry about making mistakes, since they are unavoidable.
Most walkthroughs are only efficent to follow the vision of their authors by calculating the hidden mechanics.
That does not create a better path, since the quality of the path you follow is, in my opinion, subjective.

World building has been one of my favorite parts of this game. Taking porn/fantasy game tropes and actually providing a reason for them to exist beyond how common the trope is has created a ton of interesting lore.
Sorry for not being around as frequently. This game was intended to give the player hard/complex choices, but has in turn led to a playerbase that attempts to aggressively minmax to avoid those choices. I hope you continue to find pieces in it that you enjoy. Meanwhile, let me just answer your question from a while back:
Everybody pronounces "Qum" as "cum" except when she says her full name, where it's more like the "coom deh-uhmp".
I have no problem with people cheating, at least so long as they don't report bugs caused by it. If that's how you enjoy the game, more power to you. You'll have a pretty idyllic postgame world, feel free to enjoy it. ^-^
Only the latter.
I'd like to think I'm not too sporadic, but here's the data:
http://the-last-sovereign.blogspot.com/2015/05/version-history.html
Especially at the beginning, when updates were smaller, I tried to have one every single month. I've slowed down a bit as the updates have gotten knottier. You'll see breaks included in that list of updates, typically when I changed pace between chapters or released a game/book. This year has taken a lot out of me, so I asked my patrons for a sabbatical of a couple months, but I'm dedicating quite a bit of time to TLS again and hope to have another open world update in January.
I don't generally give spoilers, but I've been open on this one: assuming you play reasonably, you won't have to leave anyone mortal at the end.
I don't know what you're seeing, but I believe Renryuu is on RPG Maker MV, which is different software. If you're highly curious on this subject, I'd suggest asking on the TLS wiki:

If she wanted it to, yeah, it would eventually. It would be similar to how Simon's body shifted to match his mental self-image.
